One Line

Experiences

2011-11-16T10:34:00.001+05:30

They are the key, the answer, the reason.

Crush!

2011-10-21T20:20:00.003+05:30

Why do we call it as 'crush' when we like someone... is it because we just want to crush and dump away those old feelings when once we are done with them ?!!

And another way of saying it is

2010-10-07T06:34:00.000+05:30

It was a 'let's-bump-each-others-umbrellas' day...

Resounding

2010-04-20T13:36:00.002+05:30

Is slap the only word that echoes with friends ?

Abandoned

2010-04-15T20:53:00.003+05:30

This space seems to be Abandoned. I feel like Will Smith from "I Am Legend"...

insec-lusions

"My imagination is my worst enemy. My insecurities are cultivated by my own delusions-- delusions that will never be disproved or proven because I will never know this girl. So everything I imagine her to be is true, just like "The Secret" says. If I think she's a super model Mensa scholar, then she is! Damn the Law of Attractions! "

The Coffee Rings

"I'd never cared who made better grades or had more spending money. We each had our strengths; the important thing was to honor each other for the thing that person did best." #DavidSedaris #Naked.

life

2010-03-15T05:52:00.002+05:30

This life is bigger than 'me.'

2010-03-04T01:21:00.001+05:30

"What other purpose does art serve other than to make us emote."

Up In The Air

2010-02-23T09:57:00.003+05:30

"Tonight, millions of people will come home to screaming children, barking dogs. Their spouses will hug them and ask them how their day was. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places; and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over."

I'm just

saying

A pro-verb is really a simple action with experience

SoulMate

2010-02-18T11:12:00.002+05:30

"A soul mate sometimes enters our life as someone to stir us up. To hold up the mirror so that we can see ourselves more clearly and antagonize us and make us so uncomfortable that we have to change because we can't continue to look at the same thing because we're looking at it clearly now. This is the reason a soul mate may not last forever. The encounter is so intense and so clarifying that we burn through those things quickly."

now, let's not go racking our brains to count how many soulmates we've had so far ;)

Life and Brett Lee

2010-02-15T18:33:00.003+05:30

Life is like Brett Lee. It comes at you fast!!!

Life and Sehwag

2010-02-15T18:31:00.002+05:30

Life is very much like Sehwag. It gives you some chances.
If you don't take them, you will pay.

Do you?

2010-01-23T01:06:00.002+05:30

"Do you arrange your books in alphabetical order? (I hope not)" - quote from this book. А good question to ask a future husband

"I do not have time for reading.You either go out and do things or sit home and read how someone did those things" she said.

Surroun'din'

2010-01-12T10:47:00.003+05:30

Surround Sound(n) : The cacophony of telephone conversations, chitchat, a loudmouth and a printer whirring around your cubicle; in which you are expected to be productive...

Car-C-no-gent

2010-01-04T11:58:00.004+05:30

Saw one the other day, driving like a maniac. Of what use is having a Honda if you have no civic sense ?

Food and love

2009-12-30T00:53:00.000+05:30

The connection between food and love is eternal, and one who fails to see it, neither knows how to cook, nor how to love.

Artist

2009-12-29T21:12:00.000+05:30

Egotism is the rightful right of every artist.

moments with her

2009-12-29T17:53:00.002+05:30

her innocence...was like a pure wave.....that washed away my profanity

Sportsmanship

2009-12-23T09:45:00.001+05:30

The fine line between having fun and competing remains ... smudged ...

Bring on the criticism

2009-12-11T15:59:00.002+05:30

I used to think being thick-skinned works only for Rhinoceroses until I met a few people ...

Shakesp~here

2009-12-01T11:17:00.002+05:30

Soliloquy reconstructed

Hamlet's original : To be or not to be : that is the question.

Extrapolating that to the alphabet,

Eyes wide shut : To C or not to C
Gravity's Dilemma : To G or not to G
Bladder's Plight : To P or not to P
Golfer's Quandary : To T or not to T

Word of the day

quirky wisdom

2009-11-17T16:40:00.002+05:30

heard this gem at a talk today:
"an anthropologist can never say no to coffee, because it prolongs conversation"

made me think of everyday coffee-drinking sessions from a whole new perspective.

in a trance...

2009-11-15T13:18:00.003+05:30

there r no bounds to....what i think.....or....how i should b at any point of time.........the boundaries are surreal.....i am almost always lost in progressive thoughts.........fascinated by something new......leaving the mundane reality behind..........i think.i dream.i walk........towards the future

girls

2009-11-15T13:07:00.004+05:30

Into the wild

2009-11-15T03:40:00.003+05:30

"The sea's only gifts are harsh blows....and occasionally the chance to feel strong. i don't know much about the sea, but I do know that the way it is here, and I also know how important it is in life to not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself atleast once. to find yourself, atleast once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind deaf-storm alone with nothing to help you, but your hands and your own head."

Christopher Johnson McCandless

Philosophy of Revenge

2009-11-13T10:27:00.001+05:30

The amount of work to be done on any given Friday is directly proportional to the extent of fun you intend to have over the weekend.

Reasonable Reason ?

2009-11-10T11:10:00.002+05:30

Of all the reasons for not going to work, this takes the cake : I couldn't find parking at the office.

teleportation

2009-11-03T22:32:00.003+05:30

high time someone delivered on this concept!

Need to fix

2009-10-30T14:35:00.002+05:30

On vacation and this feels like a normal day at office. I have to fix either my entertainment or seriously start working.

Health and Taste

2009-10-29T15:54:00.001+05:30

They say healthy food cannot be tasty and tasty food cannot be healthy.

Our caterer is an exception.

His food is neither tasty nor healthy...:D

The problem with pulling an all-nighter is the morning after ...

Talking about mutiny,

Why the silence here ?

Warped sense of justice

2009-10-23T16:13:00.004+05:30

Nothing lifts the spirits like crushing others'. Mine just underwent both.

love show

2009-10-23T01:44:00.002+05:30

"It's painless...Letting your love show"*. Is it?
from the song "Love show" by Skye Edwards

The Great Ache

2009-10-22T21:11:00.003+05:30

"There are Great Aches of loss of what we had, of regret for what we've done, of pain for what never was or never will be, of endings, real or imagined, of lives we shudda/cudda/wudda had; there are real and imagined rejections, identities thieved by the demons of practicality, insecurity, uncertainty or just lousy timing. There are the Great Aches of "if I had only," "why didn't I," "why did I," and "why me" or "why not me."

Your ache may not be mine. Mine may not be yours.
May we all, somehow, be healed. "

-- Pamela Cytrynbaum

incrimination

2009-09-16T02:46:00.001+05:30

If one loves a criminal...does this incriminate him as well? Is he an accomplice or a victim?

Smiling is the second best thing you can do with your lips (via Anca).

forget-me-not

2009-09-08T00:31:00.001+05:30

Men often overcome the women that had made them cry, but never forget those that made them laugh. Is it?

"what listless saturday mornings bring about"

2009-08-29T08:54:00.003+05:30

after investing you with hidden passion and infusing myself with corresponding guilt, i wish i cud find the damn undo button to put an end to a story that seems to have played out only in the realm of my mind.

(sigh! someday i will expand these lines of absolute brilliance into a story!)

What the bleep...?

2009-08-23T13:44:00.002+05:30

What the bleep do we know? - Watch it! It is somehow mind-twisting.

Love and Desire for Love

2009-08-15T09:20:00.002+05:30

"Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman)." #Milan Kundera, #The Unbearable Lightness of Being

a simple harmonic motion

It is impossible to get detached from attachment...never realized that it will be so hard!!!!

space

2009-07-30T01:44:00.001+05:30

Sometimes you need to create some space to let things in your life.

belonging

2009-06-29T21:02:00.002+05:30

is it possible to get attached to a turn in the road? maybe its just displacement...

Time to kill

2009-05-08T01:14:00.002+05:30

The beauty in saying 'i have no time' to someone is, you indeed have pleanty of time to kill yourself.

Satisfaction- guaranteed?

2009-05-07T22:06:00.001+05:30

I think I found the reason for the lack of satisfaction. Now what?

Confessions

2009-05-07T01:53:00.002+05:30

R confessions supposed to make us feel lighter at heart or do they hand the burden to the one we have confessed to?

WTF?!

2009-05-07T00:53:00.003+05:30

"you are awesome for a march born" is a compliment.
